Steps

1

Be clean. If you are filthy, how are you going to have a better life? Take a shower, get some clean clothes, clean your room-do whatever it takes to make it to the top.

2

Be organized. You probably think this is the same thing as being clean. Well-guess what?-it is not. If you are just being clean, you are shoving everything under you bed and saying, "I am done!" Being organized is putting everything back where it is supposed to be.

3

Look good. Make your hair, get some cool clothes, and wear a smile every day. This will make you feel good about yourself. Don't get too snazzy-you might attract gossip girl "friends." They will pretend to be your friend and share your deep secrets with the entire world.

4

Accept yourself. Don't leave this page just because every article on this subject has this step on it. It is just that it is true. If you say that your life stinks, how are you ever going to get a better you? Think of three things that make you better than anyone else. Now write them down and stick it somewhere you go all the time. Aren't you so much better than anyone else?

5

Get independent, but not too much. Face it; whether you are ten or thirty, you are not a child anymore. You don't need your mommy or daddy to remind you to brush your teeth. You really don't need them to tell you to remember to pack your lunch. Do this kind of stuff by yourself, but don't do everything by yourself. If you do, you will become that nerd that has no friends and gets separated from your family. On the other hand, don't become that little child who needs help with everything.

6

Get your goals out. Find out what you really wanted. A house? That cool new video game? That awesome shirt? Write it down. Now start with some steps to get there. Maybe you can start by saving up some money. Maybe you just have to browse. You decide-after all, it is your life.

7

Be healthy. Again, don't leave. Being healthy is a big part of everything. It will keep you happy. If you are a big slob who can't get off the couch then go around the block every day. Something as simple as smiling can help in this part. Get some good friends and start a soccer game. Or start a race. How can YOU exercise?

8

Choose some good friends. If you are friends with the tough bullies, time to stop. Don't go for the kid that is failing either. Choose friends that pay attention at school or are above average. They can really help out with your goals. If you got some good friends, tell them about your goals. They would be happy to help.

9

Get good grades. With every A you get, you are achieving something good, which would make you feel better for yourself. Plus, it will help you later in your life, when it is time to get a good job. If you have a good job, that means you will get a good amount of money.

10

Finally, have fun. If your life is miserable, make things a little more... special. Have a fun day with friends. Hang out at the movies. Or have a soccer game with some buddies. Something as simple as having an ice cream cone can help. If there's nothing fun to do, make up something fun to do. Call some friends and have a party. You will surely love it! Life is short, so try to make the very most out of it.

Tips

Provide Details.

Please be as detailed as possible in your explanation. Don't worry about formatting! We'll take care of it.
For example:Don't say: Eat more fats.Do say: Add fats with some nutritional value to the foods you already eat. Try olive oil, butter, avocado, and mayonnaise.

Tips

If you mess up one day, like your BFF decides to move on or your boyfriend/girlfriend dumps you, don't get upset. Remember that tomorrow's a new day. Every single golden day is worth it. You can try again the next day. You can!

School should not have anything do with who you are friends with. Choosing 'above-average' friends over people that are failing is really shallow. You should be friends with people you get along with, no matter what their position is, in school or anywhere. Be friends with people you like, who care about you, and will be there for you. If they are 'failing,' you could be be the friend they need to help them and get them back on their feet!

Think over these steps, don't just skip them after reading one sentence. They can really help.

Remember-friends are the key. If you don't have friends, make some with the provided steps.

Helping other people can make you feel really good about yourself. If you have the time, find somewhere that you can volunteer! Animal shelters can always use an extra hand.

Warnings

When you are doing the independence step, don't overdo things as described in the step. Bad things can happen if you do.

You are your own person, so don't look up to someone else. YOU be the leader. Be the person who EVERYONE ELSE looks up to. Be the role model in your life! And that doesn't mean to not be nice.
